The Roman Church was a powerful force behind the Crusades. The promise of both earthly and heavenly rewards lured many into taking the Crusader's vow. Church leaders guaranteed the protection of the family and property of the Crusader while he was away. Criminals and debtors undertaking the "holy" cause received pardons. In fact, the popes proclaimed that participation in the Crusades was a substitute for penance. Hardened sinners were told they could earn forgiveness of sins by joining one of these campaigns. Furthermore, the Roman church assured the Crusaders that anyone who died while on a Crusade would be granted eternal life. The Roman church manipulated the the credulous people by giving them false assurance.

What was the series of wars over the holy land fought by?
The Crusades. There were many Crusades, but the main aim was to rid the Holy Land of Turks, who the Emperor of Constantinople did not like. The Pope was looking for a reason to create a super-power, and then the Emperor sent him a letter complaining about the Turks, so the Pope decided to take advantage of the opportunity. So many people decided to go because the Pope promised that if they went, they would definitely have a place in Heaven. He said that it is not a crime to kill people, if they are not fellow Christians. This is why many people went, and gave up jobs.

How many people died in the Crusades?
No one really knows. No one knows how many people took part in the Crusades, no one knows how many set off to take part and died en route from some other causes, or who were part of the Crusades and died on their way home afterwards. In short, there weren't very good records kept in those days. And for every 'official' crusader, ie the knights and nobles, who were shown on the church records as having sworn to uphold the crusades, there was a retinue of people who went with him: grooms, servants, etc. who were never listed anywhere. Then there were the Children's Crusades, which simply happened. As the band of young idealists marched across Europe, other youngsters joined in, and there were no records of who was in the initial group that began the crusade, or in the final group that ended up stranded, away from home, and did whatever they could to stay alive.
